Answer:

9) x=3

10)x=8.5

Explanation:

Because M is a midpoint, for both questions, the equations on M's either sides are equal.

9) 5x+9=24

Subtract 9 from both sides

5x=15

Divide by 5 on both sides

x=3

10) 3x-7=x+10

Add 7 to both sides and subtract x from both sides

2x=17

Divide by 2

x=8.5
